Can I set the valence electrons occupation in VASP? eg.,If the valence electron configuration in POTCAR is d4,can I let the valence configuration be d3 and d5 and then calculate their energy difference?

for an atom: yes, for a bulk system: no

Thank you for your reply. And can you tell me how to set the tag for the calculation? Is there a paticular tag or I should try to modify the POTCAR?

What are the correct tags for LSDA+U calculation in VASP?Manual is not giving sufficient knowledge.

Hi, lingling.
I think this approach might be also suitable for an isolated molecule.
And the setting can be found in VASP manul with the linking of http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/vasp/vasp/Atoms.html

Which one from LDA and GGA often overestimate interactions between atoms?
